Austro- Hungarian govern-doclarcl
war against Servia
In a manifesto which is
*"%"the briefest of history's mo-
•"* .ous documents. The text of the
toleration follows:
■V-e royal government of Ser-
-oi having replied in a satis-fy
...I, manner to the note remit-

Ljlter in Belgrade on July 23,

and interests and to have recourse

-Austria-Hungary considers itself
Iroa this moment in a state of war
with Servia."
Germany paved the way for this
declaration by announcing her re-jectkn
oi the British proposal to
brine tour powers together in con-ierer.
ee for mediation. Germany ex-slateed
her ally could not be ex-pected
to submit her acts to an Euro-pear,
council as though she were one
0[ ■_-. Balkan states.
7.::'« announcement preceded the
declaration of war by only two hours
and showed the harmonious working
of t.'.e partnership between the two
nations, which stood firmly together
through the Bosnian crisis of 1909.
?-" center of interest has shifted

her interests as a great European

ll'i—ia and France in any steps they

• - immediate effect of the war
<••"'.: i< likely to be a compromise
'■' me rule, since all parties feel
ii-rt: domestic discussions must be
-•"'•-! at all cost, in the face of out-
Austria that has been in the hearts
of the Servians for 600 years, and
which was actively expressed In the
recent assassination of Archduke
Ferdinand, heir to the Austro-Hun-garlan
throne, and his wife.
That assassination was the match
to the magasine, and Austria is
ready to fight for her desire of many
centuries—control of the Balkan
peninsula to the Aegean sea.
Russia has proclaimed herself the
protector of Servia and of Roumania.
By conquering Servia, Austria and
her ally. Germany, would reach the
Aegean sea and thus hamper the
southern Russian ports and com-merce.
Roumania is Russia's buffer
state.
If Russia aids Servia—and already
her army is mobilizing—this would
call upon Germany and Italy, as par-ties
to the triple alliance, to send
their armies and navies against Rus-sia
in the aid of their ally, Austria-
Hungary.
Then, as members of the triple
entente between Russia, France and
England, France and England may-be
compelled to aid Russia.
Thus there would be of the six
great powers of Europe, Germany,
Austria-Hungary and Italy on one
side, and Russia, France and Eng-land
on the other.
France, at least its army, is ap-parently
eager for the contest, seek-ing
to regain lost Alsace and Lor-raine,
and to avenge the war of IS71.
England, which has much to lose
and little to gain, is bending every
energy to prevent a general Eu-ropean
war.
Bulgaria may be expected to aid
the dual monarchy to avenge the
wrongs which she believed she suf-fered
just after the war against Tur-key,
when Servia attacked her and
forced her to surrender most of what
her army had won. Turkey is
counted upon to aid Austria-Hunga-ry,
while Greece, to prevent her anni-hilation
by the southward progress
of Austria, will also support Servia
and the pan-SIavists.
Servia also counts on the rising
tide of pan-Slavism within the dual
monarchy. And, outside of the ac-tive
aid of Russle, the kingdom is re-lying
much on the reported indigence
of the Austro-Hungarian treasury.

European Conflict Expected.
The latest reports from Europe
show the war situation to be criti-cal
in the extreme and the outlook
is for one of the greatest wars the
world has ever known. Russia has
come out squarely on the side of
Servia and is rushing an army of 1,-
280.000 men to the Austrian fron-tier.
Germany Tuesday notified the
Russian government that mobiliza-tion
meant war. When Germany
takes a hand on the side of Austria.
France will retaliate, and then Eng-land
would be drawn into the fight.
Both England and Italy are striving
desperately to avert a general war,
for neither has anything to gain by
it.
The first important fighting oc-curred
yesterday before Belgrade,
when the Servians blew up a bridge.
The Austrians attacked them and the
Servians retreated to the capital,
which unconfirmed reports say is be-ing
bombarded.
REVENUE OFFICERS
SEIZE SHERIFF'S LIQUOR.
The Patriot Monday told of the ar-rest
Sunday morning, after an excit-ing
chase, by Sheriff Stafford and a
posse of officers of Adolphus Charles
and the capture of 60 gallons of
blockade liquor and an automobile In
which the whiskey was being con-veyed
from High Point to Winston.
After being released under a bond of
$1,000 for his appearance in Greens-boro
next Monday for a preliminary
hearing, Charles returned to Wlns-ton-
Salem. where he was tried Mon-day
in the recorder's court for run-ning
a blind tiger and fined $1,000
and placed under a bond of $2,000
for his good behavior for the next
two years.
Tuesday revenue officers seized
the 60 gallons of liquor Sheriff Staf-ford
had captured and placed In the
Guilford county jail for safe keep-ing,
and also took possession of the
automobile, which the sheriff had
quartered in a local garage. From
all of which it would appear that
Charles, who Is said to be a king bee
among the blind tigers, has rough
sledding ahead of him.
Having made the arrest and cap-tured
the contraband liquor. Sheriff
Stafford does not object in the least
to have the federal authorities take
a hand in the case.
SUMMER SCHOOL AT
NORMAL COLLEGE CLOSES.
The summer school at the State
Normal and Industrial College closed
Tuesday after a session of eight
weeks. There was a total attend-ance
of 450 women teachers, against
an attendance in the summer of 1913
of 318.
The last two weeks were used fot
the institute work.
A large number of addresses on
the latest phases and methods of
training children occupied the ses-sion
in addition to the regular
courses of study. Under the direc-tion
of Superintendent E. L. Hughes,
of Greenville. S. C. the teachers
have been taught how to construct
globes, maps and other illustrated
scenes for child aid.
A series of lectures was given by
Prof. J. H. Highsmlth. of Wake For-est,
on pedagogy, in which teachers
were told of educational conditions
in the state and given Information
on approach to the child mind.
Prof. William A. McKeever, of the
University of Kansas, lectured on the
nature of the child mind and method
of approach and control.
The closing lecture Tuesday was
given by Dr. W. M. Jones, health of-ficer
of Guilford county, on the value
of a sound body to a strong mind.
Opening of Tobacco Market.
It has not been decided yet wheth-er
the Greensboro tobacco market
will be opened this year on August
15 or September 1. It has been cus-tomary
to open the market August
1, although but little tobacco is sold
before September or October. This
year the crop is so late that the
opening of the market will be post-poned
until the middle of August or
the first of September.
The market this year will have a
strong corps of buyers and there will
be three warehouses to take care
of the offerings of the farmers.
Messrs. J. H. Whitt and Garland
Mitchell will operate the Farmers'
warehouse; Mr. Tom Graham will
again have charge of Graham's
warehouse, and Mr. Arch Bennett, a
new man on the Greensboro market
but a warehouseman of long experi-ence,
will run the Center Brick ware-house.
Young Wife Deserted.
Mrs. H. T. Atkins, a young wife of
10 months, was deserted in this city
Sunday morning by her husband and
Is being cared for at a local boarding
house until her people in Virginia
can be communicated with. The
young woman and her husband
reached Greensboro Saturday even-ing
from their former home at Gret-na.
Va., and went to a lodging house
on South Elm street. Sunday morn-ing
her husband left the room pre-sumably
to go to a boarding house
in the neighborhood to arrange for
meals, and that was the last seen of
him.
Mrs. Atkins says there has been no
trouble between her and her hus-band,
and quite naturally, she is
greatly distressed over his disappear-ance.
She says her husband brought
her to Greensboro expecting to find
employment here in railroad work.
Excursion to Norfolk.
The Southern Railway is advertis-ing
in this issue of The Patriot its
second excursion of the summer to
Norfolk. The train, which will con-sist
of first-class day coaches and
Pullman sleeping cars, will leave
Greensboro next Tuesday evening at
7.30 o'clock and will leave Norfolk
on the return at 7.45 P. M. Thurs-day,
August 6. The trip will afford
ample time to visit the numerous
resorts around Norfolk. The round-trip
fare from Greensboro is $3.65.

THREATCNKD TO DIVIDE
BODY BETWEEN WIVES.
A white man by the name of Wall,
who resides at the Revolution mills
village, was taken In custody at the
Southern passenger station in this
city Tuesda^and confined in jail for
fear that he would do himself bodily
harm. Station Master Foushee no-ticed
the man walking around the
station and acting strangely, and
when approached and questioned.
Wall said he was looking for his first
wife; that when he found her he
proposed to cut his body in two and
divide the halves between his two
wives. Capt. Foushee turned him
over to a policeman, and when he
was examined at the pqjlce station,
a knife, a razor and a small bottle
of carbolic acid were found in his
pockets.
The officers committed Wall to
jail and notified his family at Rev-olution,
bnt so far no one has ap-peared
to look after him. Efforts
will be made to have him placed in
the hospital for the Insane at Mor-ganton.
Wall appears to be 35 or 40 years
of age. It IB said that his first wife,
from whom he was divorced, re-sides
in Reidsvtlle and that recently
she has been writing letters to her
former husband. The presumption
is that this unsettled his mind.
J. H. Whitt Returns to Warehouse
Business.
Mr. John H. Whitt, the veteran of
the Greensboro tobacco market, will
be engaged in the warehouse busi-ness
again after the opening of the
approacljing season. He will con-duct
the! Farmers' warehouse, which
he owns, and associated with him
will be Mr. Garland Mitchell, who
managed) the Center Brick warehouse
during the past two seasons. Messrs.
Whitt and Mitchell will make a
strong testa. Both of them are ex-perienced
fcnd expert tobacconists
and ware Housemen, and both have
many frtdhda among the patrons of
the Gre%nsBoro market.
Mr. Whitt first engaged in the
tobacco business in Greensboro 33
years ago, and during much of this
time he has conducted a warehouse.
He successfully managed the Farm-ers'
warehouse for many years, re-tiring
from the warehouse business
a few years ago to become a buyer
on the market. He lias a wide ac-quaintance
among the tobacco grow-ers
of Guilford and surrounding
counties, and his farmer friends will
be glad to know that Mr. Whitt is to
engage in the warehouse business
again.
MONEY FOR GREENSBORO
AND ASHEBORO ROAD.
A joint committee from the
Greensboro Merchants' Association,
the Chamber of Commerce and the
Southside Citizens' Club made a can-vass
of the city Tuesday and raised
a fund of $1,000 to assist in build-ing
a good road between Greensboro
and Asheboro, the money to be spent
on the Randolph county end of the
line.
The county commissioners at their
last meeting, decided that Guilford
would do her part in constructing an
improved highway between the two
county capitals. Previously the Ran-dolph
commissioners had made an
appropriation for the building of a
road from Asheboro to the Guilford
county line, with the understanding
that property owners along the road
contribute half the expense.
For four or five miles south of
the Guilford line the road runs
through a sparsely settled country,
and it was to help out this section
that the citizens of Greensboro rais-ed
the fund of $1,000.
It has not yet been determined
whether the Guilford end of the road
will run by Pleasant Garden or
through the Center neighborhood.
The question probably will be decid-ed
at the next meeting of the county
commissioners.
Jewish Rabbi 1/ectures.
Rabbi Alexander Lyons, of the
Eighth Avenue temple, lectured to a
large audience at the Smith Memo-rial
building Monday night on "The
Jew and the Christian."
The address was interesting from
a historical and philosophical point
of view, as well as on account of the
masterful way In which it was pre-sented.
The speaker showed a deep
seated relation between the two
races which true Christian sympathy
can not deny. He spoke of preju-dices
against the Jews which had ex-isted
in some countries and asked
that these prejudices be not allowed
to exist here.

the road about two years ago.
The Ham Real Estate Company
has purchased the Capps farm, locat-ed
on the Guilford College road, two
and a half or three miles from the
city. The same company recently
purchased the Williams place, ad-joining
the Capps farm, the two
places containing 247 acres. It is the
intention of the purchasers to di-vide
the property into small tracts
of 12 or 15 acres each for sale to
small farmers and truckers.
Carter-Young Wedding.
A marriage of Interest to a large
number of people was celebrated
Tuesday morning at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. John A. Young, east of the
city, when their daughter. Miss Car-rie,
became the bride of Mr. W. F.
Carter, Jr., of Mt. Airy. The cere-mony
was performed by Rev. F. L.
Townsend, the bride's pastor, in the
presence of members of the family
and a few intimate friends. Mr. and
Mrs. Carter have gone to Asheville
and other points in the mountains
on a bridal trip, and upon their re-turn
they will be at home In Mt.
Airy.
C. H. Ireland at the White Honse.
Mr. Charles H. Ireland, president
of the Odell Hardware Company,
was a member of a delegation of
wholesale hardware merchants that
called on President Wilson at the
White House yesterday and discuss-ed
the trust legislation now pending
in Congress. Mr. Ireland says the
conference was very satisfactory, the
president and the visiting business
men exchanging views in a cordial
and frank manner. He is convinced
of the president's sincerity in his de-sire
to frame a law that will be Just
to all concerned.
Now Fighting the Mosquito.
Mr. E. P. Wharton having practi-cally
made Greensboro a flyless
town, as the result of a persistent,
vigorous and intelligent campaign,
Dr. J. T. J. Battle, who, along with
Mr. Wharton, Is serving as a volun-tary
assistant city health officer
without pay, has started the annual
warfare against the mosquito and is
calling on the people of Greensboro
to assist him in cleaning up the town
in such a manner that no breeding
places for mosquitoes will be left.
The warfare against mosquitoes last
year was quite as successful as the
fight against the fly, and efforts are
being made for an even more thor-ough
campaign this year. . -
Buys Good Business I'ro|>erty.
Mr. A. J. Klutz, who is at the
head of both the Fariss-Klutz Drug
Company and the Greensboro Drug
Company, has purchased what is
known as the old Adams building,
immediately in the rear of the
Greensboro Drug Company's store
and fronting 67 feet on West Market
street. While the purchase price has
not been made public, it is under-stood
to have been in excess of $30,-
000.
The Adams building, a three-story
brick structure and one of the oldest
buildings in Greensboro, will be
torn down and replaced by a modern
five-story structure that will form a
part of the Greensboro Drug Com-pany's
building.
Annex to McAdoo Hotel.
Work was begun this week on a
three-story annex to the McAdoo
hotel building, which, when com-pleted,
will give the McAdoo a total
of 110 rooms and several additional
sample rooms. The annex will be
built in the rear of the center of
the building and will be 60 feet
long and 35 feet wide. Mr. Will Mc-
Adoo is now conducting the hotel.
Death of Jesse Allred.
Mr. Jesse Allred, a well known cit-izen
of the Julian section, died Sun-day
at the home of his son-in-law.
Dr. Sumner, in Randleman, where he
had been for the past few months.
Mr. Allred was 71 years of age and
had been in feeble health for a long
while.
Mexican Peace Plans.
The United States is still exerting
its good offices toward drawing to-gether
the discordant elements in
Mexico and a hopeful view is taken
of the outlook. Official messages
from Vera Cruz report satisfactory
progress of conferences there be-tween
representatives of Generals
Carranza and Zapata, and it is said
an agent of the latter soon will go
north to work out with Carranza the
details of the friendly understand-ing.
Mr. J. T. Smith, of southeastern
Guilford, has one of the best peach
crops this year the county has pro-duced,
and a few specimens of the
luscious fruit left at The Patriot of-fice
Monday afternoon were among
the finest we ever saw. They were
of the Foster and Elberta varieties
and were as pretty as pictures of
the fruit one see* in the nursery-men's
catalogues.

The latest reports from Europe
show the war situation to be criti-cal
in the extreme and the outlook
is for one of the greatest wars the
world has ever known. Russia has
come out squarely on the side of
Servia and is rushing an army of 1,-
280.000 men to the Austrian fron-tier.
Germany Tuesday notified the
Russian government that mobiliza-tion
meant war. When Germany
takes a hand on the side of Austria.
France will retaliate, and then Eng-land
would be drawn into the fight.
Both England and Italy are striving
desperately to avert a general war,
for neither has anything to gain by
it.
The first important fighting oc-curred
yesterday before Belgrade,
when the Servians blew up a bridge.
The Austrians attacked them and the
Servians retreated to the capital,
which unconfirmed reports say is be-ing
bombarded.

the 60 gallons of liquor Sheriff Staf-ford
had captured and placed In the
Guilford county jail for safe keep-ing,

to have the federal authorities take

the Greensboro tobacco market
will be opened this year on August
15 or September 1. It has been cus-tomary
to open the market August
1, although but little tobacco is sold
before September or October. This
year the crop is so late that the
opening of the market will be post-poned

the first of September.

strong corps of buyers and there will
be three warehouses to take care
of the offerings of the farmers.

her husband left the room pre-sumably
to go to a boarding house
in the neighborhood to arrange for
meals, and that was the last seen of
him.

THREATCNKD TO DIVIDE
BODY BETWEEN WIVES.
A white man by the name of Wall,
who resides at the Revolution mills
village, was taken In custody at the
Southern passenger station in this
city Tuesda^and confined in jail for
fear that he would do himself bodily
harm. Station Master Foushee no-ticed
the man walking around the
station and acting strangely, and
when approached and questioned.
Wall said he was looking for his first
wife; that when he found her he
proposed to cut his body in two and
divide the halves between his two
wives. Capt. Foushee turned him
over to a policeman, and when he
was examined at the pqjlce station,
a knife, a razor and a small bottle
of carbolic acid were found in his
pockets.
The officers committed Wall to
jail and notified his family at Rev-olution,
bnt so far no one has ap-peared
to look after him. Efforts
will be made to have him placed in
the hospital for the Insane at Mor-ganton.
Wall appears to be 35 or 40 years
of age. It IB said that his first wife,
from whom he was divorced, re-sides
in Reidsvtlle and that recently
she has been writing letters to her
former husband. The presumption
is that this unsettled his mind.
J. H. Whitt Returns to Warehouse
Business.
Mr. John H. Whitt, the veteran of
the Greensboro tobacco market, will
be engaged in the warehouse busi-ness
again after the opening of the
approacljing season. He will con-duct
the! Farmers' warehouse, which
he owns, and associated with him
will be Mr. Garland Mitchell, who
managed) the Center Brick warehouse
during the past two seasons. Messrs.
Whitt and Mitchell will make a
strong testa. Both of them are ex-perienced
fcnd expert tobacconists
and ware Housemen, and both have
many frtdhda among the patrons of
the Gre%nsBoro market.
Mr. Whitt first engaged in the
tobacco business in Greensboro 33
years ago, and during much of this
time he has conducted a warehouse.
He successfully managed the Farm-ers'
warehouse for many years, re-tiring
from the warehouse business
a few years ago to become a buyer
on the market. He lias a wide ac-quaintance
among the tobacco grow-ers
of Guilford and surrounding
counties, and his farmer friends will
be glad to know that Mr. Whitt is to
engage in the warehouse business
again.
MONEY FOR GREENSBORO
AND ASHEBORO ROAD.
A joint committee from the
Greensboro Merchants' Association,
the Chamber of Commerce and the
Southside Citizens' Club made a can-vass
of the city Tuesday and raised
a fund of $1,000 to assist in build-ing
a good road between Greensboro
and Asheboro, the money to be spent
on the Randolph county end of the
line.
The county commissioners at their
last meeting, decided that Guilford
would do her part in constructing an
improved highway between the two
county capitals. Previously the Ran-dolph
commissioners had made an
appropriation for the building of a
road from Asheboro to the Guilford
county line, with the understanding
that property owners along the road
contribute half the expense.
For four or five miles south of
the Guilford line the road runs
through a sparsely settled country,
and it was to help out this section
that the citizens of Greensboro rais-ed
the fund of $1,000.
It has not yet been determined
whether the Guilford end of the road
will run by Pleasant Garden or
through the Center neighborhood.
The question probably will be decid-ed
at the next meeting of the county
commissioners.
Jewish Rabbi 1/ectures.
Rabbi Alexander Lyons, of the
Eighth Avenue temple, lectured to a
large audience at the Smith Memo-rial
building Monday night on "The
Jew and the Christian."
The address was interesting from
a historical and philosophical point
of view, as well as on account of the
masterful way In which it was pre-sented.
The speaker showed a deep
seated relation between the two
races which true Christian sympathy
can not deny. He spoke of preju-dices
against the Jews which had ex-isted
in some countries and asked
that these prejudices be not allowed
to exist here.

of the Odell Hardware Company,
was a member of a delegation of
wholesale hardware merchants that
called on President Wilson at the
White House yesterday and discuss-ed
the trust legislation now pending
in Congress. Mr. Ireland says the
conference was very satisfactory, the
president and the visiting business
men exchanging views in a cordial
and frank manner. He is convinced
of the president's sincerity in his de-sire
to frame a law that will be Just
to all concerned.
Now Fighting the Mosquito.
Mr. E. P. Wharton having practi-cally
made Greensboro a flyless
town, as the result of a persistent,
vigorous and intelligent campaign,
Dr. J. T. J. Battle, who, along with
Mr. Wharton, Is serving as a volun-tary
assistant city health officer
without pay, has started the annual
warfare against the mosquito and is
calling on the people of Greensboro
to assist him in cleaning up the town
in such a manner that no breeding
places for mosquitoes will be left.
The warfare against mosquitoes last
year was quite as successful as the
fight against the fly, and efforts are
being made for an even more thor-ough
campaign this year. . -

known as the old Adams building,

and fronting 67 feet on West Market
street. While the purchase price has
not been made public, it is under-stood
to have been in excess of $30,-
000.

brick structure and one of the oldest
buildings in Greensboro, will be
torn down and replaced by a modern
five-story structure that will form a
part of the Greensboro Drug Com-pany's

Mexican Peace Plans.
The United States is still exerting
its good offices toward drawing to-gether
the discordant elements in
Mexico and a hopeful view is taken
of the outlook. Official messages
from Vera Cruz report satisfactory
progress of conferences there be-tween
representatives of Generals
Carranza and Zapata, and it is said
an agent of the latter soon will go
north to work out with Carranza the
details of the friendly understand-ing.
Mr. J. T. Smith, of southeastern
Guilford, has one of the best peach
crops this year the county has pro-duced,
